The Beach Sambo Championship of Ukraine was held in Zatoke of the Odessa region on June 3. The Awards were played in three age groups: youths (under 16), adults (over 16) and veterans (over 45). The competition brought together 156 athletes from 15 regions.
Gennady Trostyansky, the chief referee of the competition:
— The National Beach Sambo Championship has been organized for the second time. Due to the fact that the number of participants has grown, it was decided to make not one, but two competitive arenas. Naturally, more referees were involved; last year there were only two referees, and now we invited six referees. All referees passed the seminar where one of the lectures was devoted to beach Sambo. This discipline is rather young, that is why there are always some questions on the interpretation of certain points. And yet, despite of the period of formation, this discipline is very dynamic, easy to see and spectators and participants: if the throw is done, the athlete wins. And all this happens on the beach under the gentle sound of the surf, which creates an unforgettable atmosphere.
